RCV001245546 | SCV001418841 | pathogenic | Leber congenital amaurosis 2; Retinitis pigmentosa 20 | 2020-08-14 | criteria provided, single submitter | clinical testing | For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. Loss-of-function variants in RPE65 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 9326941, 9501220, 18632300). Algorithms developed to predict the effect of sequence changes on RNA splicing suggest that this variant may create or strengthen a splice site, but this prediction has not been confirmed by published transcriptional studies. This variant has not been reported in the literature in individuals with RPE65-related conditions. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 970047). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu141*) in the RPE65 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. |
